Join us in praying the Novena Against Fear!


When God first created Adam and Eve, He provided all that they needed to be able to live in harmony with one another and with all of creation. But after the Fall of Adam and Eve, disorder entered our world. 


In our fallen world, there are many dangers and evils that people might fear. There are many things that can hurt us or cause damage to our lives.


Fear is a natural human emotion, and even the most courageous people struggle with fear at times. For some people, fear can become debilitating and can interfere with living a fulfilling life. But we can always turn to God for help when we are struggling with fear in our lives. 


Let’s offer prayers in this Novena Against Fear that God will help all who are struggling with fear to have the courage they need.
